The “Albalılıq electric bus depot” has been put into operation by “BakuBus” LLC in the Buzovna settlement of the Khazar district of the capital.
Information regarding this was provided to Modern.az by the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA).
It was stated that the construction of the new bus park, covering an area of 4.3 hectares, began in July 2025. An administrative building, a modern washing complex, and a repair center operate on the park's territory. The depot will service 167 “BYD” brand fully electric buses manufactured in Azerbaijan in 2025.
48 of the buses have a passenger capacity of 77 people, and 102 have a capacity of 81 people. To ensure the uninterrupted operation of the vehicles, 42 charging devices with a power of 240 kW have been installed. The aforementioned equipment is equipped with numerous protection functions against overvoltage, overcurrent, phase loss, and other risks.
The new buses will connect 8 settlements and 1 village – Mardakan, Shuvalan, Bilgah, Buzovna, Gala, Mashtagha, Ramana, and Nardaran settlements, as well as Mammadli village, with the “Koroglu” Transport Exchange Center.
The modern washing station, established to ensure the daily cleanliness of the buses, services 2 buses simultaneously, and the process is completed within 4 minutes. Special attention is paid to ecological requirements in the complex; 85 percent of the water used is purified and returned to circulation. In the repair center, 8 bays are operational for lubrication and locksmith work, and 7 bays for emergency repair and painting work, to ensure the prompt organization of technical service. The commissioning of the new bus park not only contributes significantly to the modernization of the capital's transport system but also to the economic and social development of the country. Within the framework of the project, a total of 443 people, including 365 drivers and 78 administrative and technical staff, are provided with permanent employment.
It should be noted that “BakuBus” purchased 160 electric buses in 2024, and 200 in 2025 and 2026. The acquisition of an additional 169 buses is planned for the current year. At the same time, private carriers are also acquiring environmentally friendly electric buses. As a result of all these measures, only environmentally friendly vehicles will operate in Baku in the near future.
